Name.com DNS

Name.com API v4 — REST API for DNS record management, domain registration, URL/email forwarding, DNSSEC, and transfers. v4 is fully supported but slated for sunset in 2026; the new CORE API launched June 2025 is the preferred path for new integrations. Auth uses HTTP Basic with username and API token. 2FA blocks API access unless explicitly toggled off in security settings.
